rick santorum was thought to be our candidate i did not want to leave out michele bachmann terry but it was up and down. we go state-by-state in have to fight for it. there is some benefit for that. it forces you to do that. in national primary, he would not have that opportunity. there are some good and bad parts of it but yeah, it does chris and challenges. >> the super pacs on the republican side probably spent over $700 million. it looks like they achieved almost nothing. in terms of electing candidates they targeted. what does it say about anything? >> he bowed and editorial about it. he is way too important, rupert, to write his own editorials and margaret [laughter] [laughter] there's a lot of discussion now about -- just for you to understand, the context of this question, it is not the other side without spending a loss too. is that accurate? >> the unions may better advantage of a lot of the super pac money, channeling it into other things. the other issue was obama's advertising. and they made which nobody responded to it. >> it probably did it a difference because >> in t

the guys in iowa, rick santorum, the folks in south carolina who gave the primary to newt gingrich. beyond that, i feel -- ever since george of the bush's second term, there has been an anti-establishment reaction within the republican party. they were embarrassed and angry with the bush administration. conservatism turned out to not be what they wanted. they wanted small government conservatism. i think everybody loves to many people into the tea party caldron. but you get the types that are determined to come here and do something against leadership. in ohio, he mentioned he likes the trappings of office, if you will. he mentioned to me, how much leadership can you exert? how much control can you exert over your own conference? given the freshmen. and he said to be, it is not the freshmen. he said it is some of the older members. he did not say who. i would have preferred if he did. that is those who are trying to have perfect scores on these ratings. they are the problem. because anti-leadership is good for them. and it is not necessarily good for the institution as a whole. i th

million people, i have no idea how any other american useles birth control with the acception of rick santorum. and i don't know why he wants to talk about it or why he thinks it's a national security issue and why the republican party is doubling down on issues like this. the prolife position is a serious moral position and i think the fact that on this issue the country is closely divided and there is no toveed suggest that being prolife is a disqualifier to being elected president of the united states. but surely we must understand the difference that being prolife doesn't default you into anti-contraception and women in this country particularly young women don't want to here contraception leckchures from white over 50,. we are the limited government party. and we see too often from the leadership in washington a version of big government conservatism where the government is peering through the window into matters of sexual orientation, into life style choices and issues like continue tra acception. so there is an intellectle disdense when people are talking about tyranny and we stand on t
